Classes
Tiny Tots
Ages 18 months- 3. No previous training. Emphasis is on creative movement, learning to follow directions and how to thrive in a structured environment. Creative Movement is an exciting experience which develops a love for music and dance. We engage the child's imagination by giving them familiar mental pictures, such as puppies in a pet store or cowboys on a horse, to focus on. They then act and dance to music to convey the concept. Creative dance is integrated in all the classes, with special emphasis on the younger student classes.
